IN RE: GERARD T. (1997)

Order of disposition, Family Court, New York County (George Jurow, J.), entered on or about February 23, 1996, which adjudicated appellant a juvenile delinquent, following a fact-finding determination that appellant had committed acts that, if committed by an adult, would constitute the crimes of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree and assault in the third degree, and placed him with the New York State Division of Youth for a period of 1 year, unanimously affirmed, without costs.

Appellant was not denied his right to a speedy fact-finding hearing.   The record demonstrates that each of the two single-day adjournments in question, which occurred on the two days immediately following the blizzard of January 7-8, 1996 (see, Matter of David W., 241 A.D.2d 388, 660 N.Y.S.2d 419, 422), were clearly the result of the blizzard.   We find that both the “good cause” requirement of Family Court Act § 340.1(4)(a) and the “special circumstances” requirement of Family Court Act § 340.1(6) were satisfied.   We have considered appellant's remaining arguments and find them to be without merit.

MEMORANDUM DECISION.
